RCB are coming off a crushing 81-run defeat against KKR.
However, the Faf du Plessis-led side failed miserably in the second game, suffering a thrashing by 81 runs at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on April 6.
RCB are slated to play in their home ground against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 10. Ahead of the game, Du Plessis is confident that his team will put on a strong performance against the KL Rahul-led side.
"The importance for me is making sure that we have the same review process on whether the first game, where we were perfect, or the second game, where we were not perfect. Making sure that we look at things that we did well and things that we can improve on. The guys are very confident to try and put in a performance to put that last game down," Du Plessis said on RCB Game Day.
The skipper further stated while RCB have addressed their issues from the previous match, they have not overanalyzed it.
"We want to look at areas where we can be a little bit better. I think it is always important whether you are winning or losing. Let us just look at areas where you feel like we can improve, but also identify the areas in which you are doing well. After some matches, like the heavy defeat last time, you can sometimes overanalyze things."
Faf du Plessis also acknowledged LSG’s strength, saying that they have a well-balanced squad. Notably, Lucknow Super Giants have won two out of their three games in the IPL 2023 so far.
"Both the new teams have played really well. LSG have a very well-balanced squad. When you have a blank canvas at the auction, you can pretty much set up a team really well from a balanced perspective. They are a very good team, so we have to be at the top of our game as well," the RCB captain remarked.
